Those 'Rossi's Greatest Hits' are nice, but the most recent one was nearly 3 years ago....
Time is marching on.

2010 and 2011 were both kind of a waste. and he still did some amazing stuff in 2010 after he came back from the leg & while still suffering from the shoulder.
still, obviously he's not getting any younger.

He won two races and had 10 podiums in 2010, while suffering a bum shoulder the entire season and destroying his leg in the Mugello crash which caused him to miss 4 rounds. The dude came back on crutches to race on that leg. Outside of his injuries that year, I'd say he did pretty damn well.
2011 was the Duc, and 2012 is the Duc. The only way we'll know if he still has it is if Ducati fixes their bike, or he changes to Yam/Honda next year. Otherwise nobody knows. I imagine he hasn't lost much.

Having Rossi possibly in WSBK is what makes Biaggi wake up in cold sweats every night.

it would be tits to have Rossi stuffing it up the inside of him on an 1199 like Simo did on the Priller....

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."
CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.
